I was happy with my souvenir ID badge!

Au.

The Royals are very much musicians.

The Queen could well have qualified as a concert pianist had she not been born into a job; the Royal Yacht, Brittania, was reported as containing "numerous" Broadwood grand pianos...

Weird but I had never heard that before. Surprised it hasn't been made of in the 'media's get to know Lizzie, Big Phil and the kids documentaries'. Not sure why but it seems quite nice to know that in between all of the Royal 'stuff' she can sit and relax at a piano and excel. unless this is one of those whoosh moments where I get the pun in a minute .....

I'd treat that with a large pinch of salt. Mostly the pianos are highly decorated gifts and their function is more ornamental then practical.
HM may well be a competent pianist as it was the sort of skill taught to many of her generation. If she were an avid music lover I would imagine she would be more in evidence at classical concerts.
